Abstract
A 10-yr-old girl with undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma of the liver reported here had abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and weakness when she was 8 yr old. Chemical analyses of the blood and urine were normal. Serum .alpha.-fetoprotein was within normal limits. She died of cachexia 1 yr and 8 mo. after the onset of symptoms. Autopsy showed a huge tumor mass in the liver and a few matastatic nodules in the lungs, which were consistent histologically with undifferentiated sarcoma of the liver. This is the 2nd known case of hepatic undifferentiated sarcoma of children in Japan.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
